Friends Of CNM newsletter, 2019-05-05
Ladies and Gentlemen ... Greetings from CNM Digital Services team ... Significant developments on several initiatives ... Please review thoroughly and, as always, if more is needed just let us know and we'll shift fires accordingly ...
CNM IT Taskforce project
This newsletter continues introducing CNM IT to you. At this time, we are recruiting volunteers for CNM IT Taskforce, which primary purpose is to put our technology to work.
Last week, we started the introduction with CNM Videos. Today, we will touch CNM Mails and CNM Certs. Next week, we plan to continue with our public development tool called CNM Wikis and private development hub called CNM Labs.
CNM Mails
Traditionally, we used emailing solutions provided by third-party vendors. This is how my current email address, gary@careernetworkministry.org, is set up. In addition, we used emailing tools that came with various pieces of software we used for collaboration, project, learning, customer relationship, and so on management.
However, we have just installed a separate mailing server that we plan will serve all the applications within the CNM Cloud. We also consider integrating some calendaring software. Would you like to help us to define what we need?
CNM Certs
We used to call our learning management system the CNM Campus. However, the new vision is that the whole CNM Cloud will serve as the learning campus, so the name has changed.
Imagine what we together can do with CNM Videos. We can post there the CNM orientation, seminar presentations, and event previews, streamline our events, etc. Currently, just a couple of test videos are published, but the technology is ready to be used and our video-sharing service is waiting for your help. Would you like to be a part of that change?
administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, and delivery of educational courses, training programs, or learning and development programs.[1] The learning management system concept emerged directly from e-Learning. Although the first LMS appeared in the higher education sector, the majority of the LMSs today focus on the corporate market. Learning Management Systems make up the largest segment of the learning system market. The first introduction of the LMS was in the late 1990s.[2] Learning management systems were designed to identify training and learning gaps, utilizing analytical data and reporting. LMSs are focused on online learning delivery but support a range of uses, acting as a platform for online content, including courses, both asynchronous based and synchronous based. An LMS may offer classroom management for instructor-led training or a flipped classroom, used in higher education, but not in the corporate space.
As a member of our future CNM Videos Taskforce, you are invited to get involved. And, by the way, you are invited to suggest a change of that tentative name for this body too.
How to get started
Here are a couple of scenarios for how to get started:
- If you don't have time or interest to help with development, stay tuned and get back when the service is up and running;
- If you have a description of your desired role, reply to this email and attach it;
- If you are interested in joining our taskforce, RSVP for the taskforce meeting (for instance, the one for May 7th is published at <a href="https://www.meetup.com/mbc-cnm/events/260915652/" target="_blank">meetup.com/mbc-cnm/events/260915652</a> ) or just show up in Vienna VA on Tuesday nights and find me. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am rarely available to meet you at any other place and/or any other time.
Blessings, peace, thanks! --Gary, Natly, Romanof, and Paul at CNM Digital Services
